Easiest shrimp boil ever! And it’s mess-free using a single sheet pan. That’s right. ONE PAN. No newspapers. No bags. No clean-up!

When sweet corn is in season, I make this every two weeks, double the recipe and we all fight over the leftovers.
This makes me think of summers by the ocean.
I have a hot date waiting for me. With four short legs. Massive ears. And a sweater vest. Yes. My Valentine’s date tonight is Butters. And we’ll be staying in, away from the crowds, the flowers and the jewelry.
Instead, we have this. And it’s better than roses or a blue Tiffany box. It comes on a single sheet pan with shrimp, smoked andouille sausage, baby Dutch yellow potatoes and corn. Plus, there’s plenty of butter and garlic with minimal clean up here.
Thank you, sheet pan dinner.
So maybe it worked out that I didn’t have a human date tonight. Because Butters doesn’t discriminate against garlic breath.
tips and tricks for success
- Parboil the potatoes and corn ahead of time. Parts of this recipe can be made ahead of time for an even speedier weeknight dinner. Parboil the potatoes and corn 1-2 days in advance, placing them in an airtight container in the fridge.
- Serve with crusty bread. Serve with all the homemade crusty bread for dipping, sopping and dunking!
- Reheat in the oven. Leftover shrimp can be rubbery when reheated in the microwave. For best results with leftovers, reheat in the oven at 425°F, covered in aluminum foil until warmed through.

Sheet Pan Shrimp Boil: Frequently Asked Questions
I recommend thawing frozen shrimp overnight, transferring it from the freezer to the fridge the day before. For a quick thaw, you can run them under cold water until completely thawed, about 5-10 minutes. Pat them dry as thoroughly as possible to remove any excess moisture (so they can brown nicely and evenly).
Absolutely! To cut down on prep time, the potatoes and corn can be parboiled ahead of time and placed in an airtight container in the fridge.
Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container for 1-2 days.

Made this twice now….it’s fantastic and ridiculously easy and gluten free! Thank you!!
I bought a big, big bag to make gumbo ……and I did….learned the secret..saute the heads/shells (after rinsing) in butter, add water…cook slowly about an hour. then strain liquid and add to gumbo at proper time. Yea!!! Hubby Hero brought in a bog of corn on the cob…..so…tonight I will try your recipe…sounds yummy….we are addicted to garlic….our two big dogs love our breath………….carry on……life is good
Tomorrow I am taking this to a pot luck type dinner.
Going to cook the shrimp a little short and then load onto a crockpot.
Will let you know how this turns out.
Delicious and super easy!
Hey there! I’m making this for the Super Bowl tomorrow. We’re watching at our friends house about 15 minutes away. Any recommendations as to how to transport the food after it’s cooked! Thanks 🙂
You can keep it directly on the sheet pan and wrap with foil tightly to transfer. Hope that helps, Autumn!
So good and so easy. Best part fast clean up. Thank you
Per my husband I can fix this again and again and again. Picky eater loves this.
Thank you for delicious recipe. My family loved it. As southerners we wouldn’t have a low country shrimp boil any other way than the original but this recipe is very good. I did make twice as much of the Old Bay Seasoning butter. Also I used ground garlic instead of fresh.
I bought precooked frozen shrimp and wondering if I can still use it for this recipe… any suggestions on that? I realize now fresh is probably best but I have all the other ingredients and am excited to try this recipe out!
You can certainly try to use it for this recipe but I worry that the shrimp will be overcooked, unfortunately. 🙁
My whole family devoured this meal tonight, even my pickiest eater! I did sub in a homemade cajun seasoning I had on hand instead of Old Bay. It was easy to make. I used frozen already prepped Gulf shrimp.
I love the SHEET PAN SHRIMP BOIL is delicious, I made last time, my family requested it once again. They all loved it.
With a Russian potato salad on the side.
Thanks for your recipe.
I use olive oil for flavor, texture and health. I cut the corn into 4 pieces, not 6. I use shrimp with no shells or tails
Have made this many times. My family likes it..I serve with garlic bread.
Loved this, very easy I’ve made it several times now. I love the way we all sit around the table talk and pick out our favorite pieces. Its a great dish for conversation around the table.
Really flavorful. Great recipe!!!!
Family loved it, was a pretty quick weeknight meal.
THANK YOU SO MUCH! I hate how everything can end up tasting like shrimp but this was perfect. I used two pounds thawed out shrimp that I bathed in one stick of butter and old bay before adding to the rest of the ingredients. It was soooo good. Some of the other reviewers say olive oil works and they are sooo right. Its heavier and makes the seasoning really stick.
So happy you liked it!
Hello, I was wondering what is the calorie count of this meal? I’ve made this several times and my family loves it.

I made this into 4 servings without modifications and I came up with 663 calories. I used myfitnesspal.com and subbed smoked sausage as it was on sale vs. andouille . Keeping it at 6 servings would decrease the calories, but who wants to eat less of this delicious seafood goodness!?!
Oh man i cant wait to make this tonight
Delicious !!! The only thing I did different was I used olive oil instead of the butter. I added garlic,old bay and the olive oil to a ziplock bag and while the potatoes and corn were cooking I put the shrimp and kielbasa in the bag and massaged them gently. Dumped out on a sheet pan sprayed with olive oil pan. Then stirred in the drained potatoes and corn. So easy. Thank you.
